Yeah, 1-2 feet is normal until you build up the skill.  And scratches on the spring turn into strips flaking off of them after a while.

That's a quick-release, first employed in bicycles.

I know a little Spanish, perhaps enough to fix grammar errors, but not enough to translate whole threads without spending hours with a dictionary in my lap.  I'd be willing to help, though.

Stemming from the same Youtube discussion that sparked me to bring up the possibility of having a Spanish section, I have also been informed that they are already selling the new Up-Wings in Spain.  Now, this person also said that they were the best ones in the world.  And they had no footage of it.  So perhaps not.

Has anyone dug up new information?  Any new footage or reviews?  Anything at all in English?

Cool! you're progressing pretty fast there.

Recently, I've noticed a growing Spanish-speaking bocking community.  It's not as big as the English or German speaking communities are, but there is enough interest that perhaps a fourth language should be added to the forum.

Any thoughts?

Hmmm.... Perhaps the sectioned padding of the new cuffs is to promote airflow and reduce the funky sweat factor.  What if PJ cuffs turn out to be better?  That will be troubling for Poweriser indeed.

The Poweriser wrist guards are pretty flimsy, but the elbow and knee pads are pretty much perfect.  Get some tough wrist protection and you'll be fine.

Yeah, the question has been answered at least twenty times.

Anyway, a good place to learn is near something sturdy to lean on with some trustworthy friends who will give you a hand to balance.  Gravel is tricky to walk on.  Don't do it inside, there's too much you can break.

Hey cool!  They don't really look as nice as the Poweriser ones, but still really cool.  Deffo not a Photoshop job, I've never seen cuffs quite like that.  But the lumpy pattern...  Does that indicate the the dreaded return of the pinchy, "healthy juju"  magnetic inserts?  I hope the idiots who designed the Upwings had no part in the design of the new cuffs, but we can only wait and see.

I don't believe that there are any other solutions, unless perhaps you cut some holes in just the right places and somehow manage to get your Pinhead straps to attach to the metal tube itself and come right out of the foam, so they look like they were always part of the bocks.  It might also be possible to replace the normal straps with something that holds better and doesn't hurt.  Take a peek in the Mods section of the gallery, I think I may have seen someone who used snowboard-style bindings, no idea how he did it though.

So Jono... You did the editing?

More than half of the video is you.

And that can relate back to the original topic, being the durability of cuffs.  Even when attached incorrectly they still work fine after two years of use.  Cuffs ROCK.

Hmmm...  That's an annoyance.  Perhaps it can be solved by cutting a bit of the pad off, not sure.  That's poor luck on your part.  Since it's such a small overlap, perhaps it can be fixed by changing the shape of the cuffs.  Maybe you want the pad higher on one side than the other, or perhaps shifting it backwards or forwards could do the trick.  I do find it odd that loosening the 2mm is enough to make your legs go "all over the place" and that you made no indication of your real problem in your first post.  Did Even when my cuffs get loose, they are still quite stable.

Coming loose in 30 seconds...  The cuffs are fine, you just screwed them up.  The way the buckle is done, tension makes it hold stronger.  The Velcro is not meant to hold any tension at all, and if it was under tension the way you strapped in, no wonder they came loose.  The Velcro is just meant to keep the end of the strap from flapping all over the place.  Starting from where the strap attaches to the cuff, it should go across the front, through the inner loop of the buckle, back through the outer loop, and across the front again, with the Velcro sticking it somewhere.  Where is not important, as the Velcro is not what holds it tight.  Just strap it up that way, and they will hold tight and stable for hours, although in an all-day bocking event you may have to take a second to tighten them again.

Sorry if I came across as rude, I took a while to completely figure out my cuffs too.  But as a vendor, you really should know this stuff...

... Or why not abandon the velcro altogether and use a ratchet clasp similar to that used to hold the shoe down with?

I have wondered that myself for a while.  However, ratchet straps are not without their own disadvantages.  Often, one ratchet will be just a tiny bit too tight and the next ratchet down is just a little bit too loose.  But they would never get loose and nobody would ever get confused., and legs are big enough around and squishy enough that it might not matter.  Maybe when Flying Locust comes out with their revamped Up-Wing they'll do that to dodge copyright infringement with Poweriser...  We'll see.
